Bitcoin Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
Overview<\/h4>\n
After decent performance throughout the last weeks of Dec 2018 and early this month, Bitcoin sellers are back. According to live streams from coin trackers, BTC is down 6.1 percent in the last day. Regardless, traders are optimistic and expect prices to rebound more so if there support at $3,700. If that is the case, then today\u2019s drawdown is a bull squeeze driving prices towards the base of a bull flag.<\/p>\n
Fundamentals<\/h4>\n
In theory, the blockchain should be infallible, distributed and secure. Most as Bitcoin have lived up to their expectations, and with Exa-hash rates, there is no economic incentive to launch attacks. The cost will be exorbitant for no good reason. Bitcoin and its blockchain are therefore safe. However, the technology is still new and infrastructure developing.<\/p>\n
Buttressing Bitcoin are exchanges\u2014a set of on-off ramps allowing buyers and sellers to exchange digital asset. As centralized marketplaces, they are a honey pot for malicious hackers always on the lookout for any vulnerabilities. Most successful hacks result in multi-million-dollar losses and topping the table is that mega-hack at Coincheck<\/a> where an estimated $500 million evaporated just like that.<\/p>\n
